High School DxD: A World Without God

Tokyo…

Shinto Gods Shrine… (Vermilion Bird)

After having a good conversation with Shuri and Akeno at the Shrine Neo looking at the sun decided to return home as he is getting late.

"Do you really need to return so soon? " when Akeno heard him saying he needs to return home now she asked with a sad tone as he is the first friend she made as no one at the same age as her, would visit the Shrine and even if they visit the Shrine they will visit with their parents which will prevent her from having a conversation with them.

"Yes, I am really getting late. " Neo explained with a serious face.

"Then will you visit us in the future. " Akeno asked with a hopeful face.

"Sure. " without hesitation Neo replied looking at her with a dazzling smile.

"Promise. " Akeno said with a smile while extending her pinky finger.

"Promise. " Neo said while shaking her finger with his and soon turned around after saying his goodbye to Shuri on the way who was cleaning the leaves on the shrine grounds.

After Neo left the Shrine Shuri returned to her daughter after a sigh as she knows her daughter was having fun earlier but as the boy left she might be sad and decided to council her "Don't be sad dear he will come again to play with you in the future. "

"Yes, he promised. " Akeno said with a smile hearing her mother's words while looking at the empty Shrine steps.

After leaving the Shrine Neo started running with a normal speed towards his home as he got really late after having a conversation with Shouko and the Shrine visit.

While on the way he saw Shouko walking towards his home together with a black-haired girl on her back.

"Neo, what are you still doing on the road? " Shouko who saw Neo running towards her asked with a confused face looking at him as even she almost arrived near his home together with her sister while he is running to get home.

"As you are already here then I must be really late. " Neo said with a worried smile looking at her as he knows his mother might be really worried about him and might shout at him for being late.

"Yes, that is what I told you. " Shouko said using the sign language while rolling her eyes at him.

"Your sister? " Neo asked pointing at the little girl on her back.

"Yes, she is my little sister and her name is Yuzuru. " Shouko replied with a smile.

"Yuzu… Yuzuru a nice name and to tell you I have a distant sister with the same name. " Neo replied with a smile thinking about Yuzu. (Yuzu Kurosaki)

"Really? " Shouko asked with a smile thinking what a coincidence.

"Anyway do you want me to carry her on my back because looking at her I think you must be tired after walking all the way with her on your back? " Neo asked with a worried tone.

"No, it's fine she was feeling tired a few minutes ago and that is the reason I took her on my back. " Shouko said shaking her head.

"But she is sleeping look. " Neo said with a smile as he pointed at Yuzu on her back.

"What? " Shouko didn't notice her sister falling asleep as she was just too excited to visit her friend's house and more importantly she more curious how can her sister falls asleep in just a few minutes after getting on her back.

[A.N: Actually it is really simple you see Yuzuru is not more than 3 years old right now. So it is not surprising for her to fall asleep after walking all the way and getting tired. ]

"Well, what do you think we should do now? " Shouko also knows if she carries her like this it can become dangerous so she asked with a concerned face not knowing what to do.

"As I said let me carry her? " Neo replied with a smile reassuring her.

"But… " Shouko said in hesitation.

"Just do as I say. " Neo argued forcefully with a serious face.

"Fine if you don't have any problems why should I worry. " Shouko said with a sigh as Neo took Yuzuru in his hands and started walking together with Shouko towards his house when Yuzuru feeling more comfortable in his hands hugged him tightly and smiled in her sleep.

Nohara house…

After arriving at his house Neo pressed the doorbell and the door of their house got opened very soon but instead of Misty, it was Medaka who opened the door with an excited face.

"Neo, you are late. " Even though she said with an aggressive tone she was still smiling at him and the excited expression gave away she is not angry at him.

When Medaka shouts excitedly, Yuzuru who is sleeping peacefully putting her head on Neo's shoulder woke up because of the excited shout and looking at her sister who is right behind Neo and in front of her eyes in an unknown place she asked "Sister are we there yet? "

"nod. " hearing ger sister's confused tone looking at her curiously Shouko just gave a simple nod indicating they are finally at their destination.

Feeling Yuzuru's movement on his back then her tone Neo knows she might have woke up so he said was a wry smile looking at Medaka "Look you made her wake up from her sleep. " as he is unable to get angry at Medaka he just pointed her mistake.

"Sorry. It wasn't intentional. " Medaka also understanding her mistakes said with a down tone then looking at the little cute doll-like girl on Neo's hands she got curious not recognizing her then thinking she also wants a little sister her curiosity instantly transformed into excitement as she hurriedly asked "Wait a minute, First introduced this cute little sister to me. "

Looking at her excitement he knows he won't be left alone unless he introduces Yuzuru properly so he puts her down and giving a sign for Shouko to come beside him he started explaining "You know her right? "

"Shouko. " Medaka said with a confused face hearing him introducing Shouko and more importantly what is this girl doing here?

"You see she is… " with that Neo introduced the three of them and told the back story of him inviting g Shouko and her sister to play with them in his home and how he met them on the way home.

After all, the introduction is over and Medaka is happy getting a little sister (although no one agreed to her thought and she by herself took Yuzuru as her little sister) they decided to enter the house when Yuzuru asked with a confused face pointing at Neo who was carrying her earlier and introduced everyone "Big brother who are you? "
